This Is What Happens to A Disarmed Populace: Drunken Russian Spree Killer Edition

“Dressed in camouflage gear and armed with two semi-automatic rifles, Dmitry Vinogradov shot dead three men and two women at their desks before giving himself up to security guards,” brisbanetimes.com.au reports. “Another man and a woman were wounded. Vinogradov had gone on a five-day drinking binge after being jilted by a pharmacist at the firm.” Here’s the text of that social media massacre message: “What I saw and learned in my life nourished in me a hatred of mankind. I hate mankind and life itself. I see only one way to justify it: Kill as many pieces of human compost as possible … this is the only way to make the world better.'” Apparently Russia’s gun control laws also fail to make the world a better—or at least safer—place. Meanwhile, the Russian government’s response is to consider banning video games. Go figure. [h/t -g]

Banning alcohol was tried in the distant past in Russia. What happened next? Massive deaths because folks tried to distill at home but didn’t know the proper procedure, therefore they drank everything that came out of the still. Conclusion: a mass of poisoning cases, a lot of dead people.

If they MUST kill, why they don’t try to enter a bank and blow some sociopathic bankers up? Or some psychopathic members of parliament? No, they’ll just shoot co workers, or students or whatnot. Those killers are cowards.

Also, I’m kinda surprised that he breezed past “security” with that incredibly suspicious looking backpack, no questions asked. How many people show up for work with a backpack that towers a foot over their heads?
